I Will Not Ever Run For Political

The First Official Statements Of President Asif Ali Zardari's New Government Have Been Firm And Robust. Pakistan Is Obviously A Renewed Democracy.

When You Enlisted Into The Armed Forces You Swore To Support And Defend A Constitution That Did Not Yet Fully Apply To You. You Chose To Endure The Same Sacrifices As Your Fellow Comrades In Arms To Preserve The Freedom Of A Land That Was Not Yet Fully Yours. You Accepted That You Might Have To Pay The Ultimate Price On Behalf Of A Nation To Which You Did Not Fully Belong. Now, You Will Officially Become Citizens Of The United States, A Country To Which Each Of You Has Already Borne True Faith And Allegiance In Your Hearts And Your Deeds.

There [in Afghanistan] Is Also A Growing Insurgency Threat From Al-qaida, The Taliban And Other Extremist Elements, Some Of Which Comes From The Tribal Areas Of Pakistan, As Well As From The Northwest Frontier Province And Baluchistan.

I Will Not Ever Run For Political Office, I Can Assure You Of That.

I Think No Commander Ever Is Going To Come Out And Say, 'i'm Confident That We Can Do This.
